Due to the political decisions related to COVID-19 and the war in Ukraine, this is the first face-to-face meeting in 4 years.
The event is organised for the first time jointly with the Japan Pancreas Society (JPS) and in cooperation with the European Society for Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (ESPGHAN). The local organisation teams from Europe and Japan have put together a broad and attractive program. The aim was in particular to win young talents for lectures and thus to offer the next generation an appropriate forum.The congress is preceded by an extensive postgraduate course, which is aimed in particular at young colleagues, but also offers attractive lectures for experienced pancreatologists. The course was planned together with ESPGHAN and focuses on hereditary paediatric diseases of the exocrine pancreas from hereditary pancreatitis to cystic fibrosis and rare syndromes. We are pleased to have won internationally renowned speakers from three continents for this course. I would like to thank the EPC Council and program committees for their support in planning the sessions, as well as the invited speakers and abstract presenters who share their knowledge with us.
